If you have ever felt stressed, frustrated or straight up worn out by the challenges of being a mom then you are in the right place. As modern mothers we have SO many responsibilities:

  • We work (whether it be in or out of the home)
  • We run a household (laundry, meals and finances)
  • We raise children (parenting, activities, holidays)

Basically – we DO IT ALL – but at what cost?

For many of us, we get to the point where the life we are living isn’t the life we had imagined when we started our families.

If you have ever wished that:

  • You didn’t spend all your free time cleaning and doing housework
  • Each day you had time to connect and engage with your children
  • Life was simple, easy and at a slower pace

Then I am confident that you will benefit from the tips that I share on this site.

What will you find on Simply Well Balanced?

After suffering from stress and anxiety that robbed me of the “joys of motherhood” I decide to utilize my training as a yoga instructor and educator to create systems to make motherhood easy and teach others how to reclaim a simple and more joyful lifestyle.

My passion is sharing strategies, tips and products to help you make motherhood easier and more enjoyable.

Many of the posts on this site cover:

As moms we have to find the easiest and most efficient way to make our health and happiness a priority. So, come on in – take a look around. I hope you find a way to make your life Simply Well Balanced.

Lauren Tingley – Training and Education

While I believe in being a life-long learner and have continued my education into adulthood, many of my greatest lessons have been learned in the school of life.

With over 20 years of experience working with children, and more than 14 years as a parent, I have a lot of tips, tricks and ideas to share.

Being a mother, teacher, business owner and friend to other women I have learned so much. I learn from experience, from my children and students and from others on a daily basis. So many times these real experiences have taught me so much more than any book or course ever could. However, if you are interested in the technicalities here you go:
